ture ane back to South Amboy after it.
Father Corrigan says no man should drive
through the pines late at night, unless his
life is heavily insured and he has thor
ough contempt for this world and desire
to quit it. One cannot tell the moment he
may be unceremoniously dumped out of
his wagon by protruding stump. Thanks
to the dexterous driving of Dean Kelly,
however, they arrived in on time safe and
sound at his hospitable residence, where
Father Corrigan spent the night, and re-
turned home the next morning. 56 per-
sons took the pledge after his address at
Sayreville.
